County youngster James Vincent has revealed he expects to extend his stay at Edgeley Park after being offered a new contract.

It is understood that administrators Leonard Curtis have offered all the out-of-contract players a new deal, and Vincent, 20, believes it gives the current squad an opportunity to prove themselves after a nightmare season.

"It’s more than likely that I’ll be here next year," said Vincent.

"It gives the players the chance to try to prove themselves in League Two.

"Most of us played a lot of games last year but I don’t think any of us can say we had a good season.

"We’re hoping to kick on and progress. Things didn’t go as well as we hoped last season so we’re looking forward to getting back and putting a few things right."

Vincent, along with the rest of the players and staff, met prospective new owner Sean Connolly at a meeting held on Friday, where they were told the club should be out of administration by this Friday (May 28).

But despite the positive news, Vincent said the players were still unsure who would be leading the team come August.

"We’re all still in the dark about the manager," said Vincent.

"We thought we might have been told something at the meeting but it was just a chat so the new owners could tell us where they were up to to.

"At the moment we haven’t even been given a date to report back for pre-season training.

"Gary Ablett told us that if he was still in charge he’d ring us and if it was someone else, the new owners would contact us.

"Hopefully it’ll all be sorted soon and we can start preparing for next season.

"I think the club is going to be in good hands," he added.

"From a business point of view, Sean seems to know what he’s doing and I’m confident everything will be sorted."
